Lest we were worried about the relevancy of the blogosphere, it appears that the PR department at the Nord Stream headquarters in Switzerland has been carefully following Grigory Pasko’s copious original coverage of this pipeline project, which is a pleasant reminder that even the highest ranking businesses can still be open to starting a dialogue. In response to one of his columns which posted a number of questions, Grigory just received the attached response from Jens Mueller, who handles communications for the consortium. We naturally have some opinions about many of these statements, which I imagine are self-evident, but I am grateful to Herr Mueller for taking the time and effort to join the discussion. Below I attach the unedited response direct from Nord Stream for readers to formulate their own opinion over this important project (download here a copy on the Nord Stream letterhead).

Will Nord Stream actually be able to provide the Swedes and the Finns (and that means all of Europe) with a land-based alternative of the pipeline?
